@@spudvader Edit: *Whoops, it _is_ an ESP. It's drawing inspiration from the First Act DC6/DC9 however. That's a *First Act. First Act makes those really cheap kids guitars you can get at The Source or Walmart, but they have a very high end custom shop in Chicago, and they produce ridiculous instruments out of there. Matt Pike from HOF has a custom First Act nine string withe same body shape. It's strung with double courses like a twelve string guitar, but has no octave strings on the lowest three strings. Really cool sounding, and I _think_ it's the secret studio weapon for Mastodon. I believe it's layered in to create clarity on the arpeggiated bits that weave in and out of their riffs.

@@peachmelba1000 I think Mastodon's secret weapon is Drop-A in D standard i.e. Mother puncher or Where Strides The Behemoth off of Remission. Would like me one of those 9 strings :D

@freakalishess2 жыл бұрын
Having a light touch gives you a lot of room for dynamics 😉 I always use 9s with a 54 on the bottom... Perfect for D standard, drop C and AGCFAD("the Mastodon tuning")

Dude criticizes other guitar players for being too technical and not sounding from the heart. However this dude is plugged into more machines than Darth Vader just to get an average sound. He's not very terrible but he's not very great niether. I've heard dudes laying out some really good stuff from their guitar plugged into a shitty amp with just a lightbulb swinging above their heads in a dusty garage.

I really like Mastodon, but if it was to me, I would throw out all their amps, pedals and hire them a good producer. Their music has gotten really good over the years, but IMO their sound has always been sub par and unpleasant. It is literally their weakest point (although it has gotten better from their early stuff which sounded atrocious). Dirty and twangy are not my cup of tea. Obviously this is very subjective, but they are definitely one of the most unpleasant sounding bands that I listen to.
